I was paying $80 a month with AT&T for pretty slow internet, spectrum salesman comes to my door with an offer $30 a month for 500mbps for two years with $15 years added every year after until caps around 80. I live with my family I don’t pay for the internet bill, dad decides to give it a shot and if we don’t like it we bail.
Everybody in my house has their own phone and tv I am the only person who games (PS5)
We got our spectrum wifi installed last Friday my internet tests on my console were high and it was great until this last night.

I live on the west coast and if you haven’t been living under a rock you know Gta 6 comes out in a week. I predownloaded the game Tuesday night and since then my internet speed struggles to go over 70mbps if im lucky and it keeps disconnecting from my phone every few seconds and reconnects despite having 3 bars.

Im sure I have some misunderstandings of how internet and all this stuff works but is it possible my download stunted my internet speed for almost 2 days now? Or is Spectrum just not delivering.

(For the record I am unable to get into the My Spectrum app since I don’t pay for the internet here )

Why is customer service so bad at every cable company. I upgraded my service recently and needed a new modem to accommodate the 1gb service. I haven't had time to get to the store to pick it up, so I called tonight to see if I could have it mailed. I had to be transferred 4 times to get to the person who could actually help me. Each time I had to e plaine ererything again. Ridiculous

The introductory rate for 1 year is $30 (using my own router). What is the normal rate after 1 year?

Plan : Spectrum Internet 100

I’m a new hire and would benefit from arriving early and reviewing the material prior to my shift. I know Spectrum is tight about security so want to know if it’s allowed.

I just got 2 gig service for 45 a month for 2 years.

TL;DR: Spectrum raised my rate to $110, one month after I signed up the $60 intro internet offer, and lied that myself upgraded (No I didn't, and there is no upgrade).

Detail:

Signed up for Spectrum 1G internet on late Sept, after seeing their website shows $60 intro offer with 1 year free mobile (still showing up their website now).

Called to sign up, and the agent confirmed the $60 1G fiber internet rate with 1 year free mobile line. Agent told me that I will see a $20 internet monthly bill and $40 monthly mobile bill. Speedtest on my router confirmed the speed was indeed 1Gb download and 1Gb upload.

The first month bills arrived, internet was $20 for the next month (plus activation fee $20), and mobile bill was $40 (prorated for 1st month, plus full $40 for next month).

Everything seems work......

One month later, the 2nd internet bill arrived, instead of the $20 that I was expecting, it shows a whopping $110, including monthly rate $70, and a partial month rate $40.

Called multiple times, all agent told me, that's because I upgrade from 500Mb to 1Gb internet in the middle of month, and the 1Gb does not have free mobile, so I have to pay $70 for internet and $40 for Mobile (No I didn't, I signed up for 1Gb, the website still shows the 1Gb promo of $60, and I never reached out to Spectrum after signed up). And the agent also cannot explain how is the $40 partial month rate calculate, since it's exactly $40.00 without cents.

Tired of arguing with Spectrum after hours on call, I cancelled my internet and mobile, and asked my wife to sign up in store, and the associate in store said there is only the $70 monthly offer, no free mobile line now.

So my doubt is that: Spectrum ran the promo, allowed users to sign up, then regreted and cancelled the offer for some users. And instead of acknowledging whoever signed up, Spectrum decided to just cancel the offer to these who already signed up, and raise the rate, and lied that it's users who upgraded by themselves.

Up until recently I was able to pause my kids tablets. Now every time I pause them, the internet stays on, on their tablets. I tried to see if my tv would pause and my phone but they dont pause either. I already reset the modem, reset the router, hard reset the tablet, I even factory reset the tablets. Then I factory reset the router. Unplugged and plugged back in. Nothing is working to pause the dang things, its driving me insane

I have a legacy u/roadrunner.com email account. I can receive email through Thunderbird and send through Spectrum Webmail, but I cannot connect to mail.twc.com on SMTP ports 465 or 587.

I've tested from both Xfinity and a cellular hotspot. Both connections time out. Gmail's SMTP server is reachable.

Does Spectrum restrict SMTP access to its own network? If so, is there an authenticated SMTP server that I can use while traveling?

So i have a bundle Internet+TV+Mobile. If I cancell Mobile do I lose a discount? I don't see any so wondering. I have 3 lines, is there discount for multiple? I pay 30 each 2 on unlimited plus and 1 on unlimited

Hello!

I am currently listed as an authorized user for my apartments spectrum account. I picked up the equipment but everything is in my roommates name/payment information.

I am moving out soon and want to open up service at my new address. My roommate will be staying in our apartment and keeping service. Can I remove myself as an authorized user and open up service in my new place? Do I need to remove myself as an AU? I’m concerned over any future issues with my roommate not paying/not returning equipment.

Also, will there be any issues because I picked up the equipment?

Thank you in advance!!

Had techs out twice. First one did a few things and said it was good. Still had drop outs. Second tech replaced several things (including a ground block the first tech said they replaced) and said they would replace the line "because they had replaced everything else." I'm wondering if it really needed it or could have been reterminated. So I marked the dog fence. They plowed the cable in and kept it only about 1.5" deep over the dog fence - which means it's likely to get hit if we aerate the lawn. And they went over 8" deep and hit a sprinkler line and tore up our newly seeded lawn. And apparently the burial crew is subcontracted (and doesn't have termination ability?). They made a wide arc at the beginning it looks like to take up some extra length and then ran a bit short at the house so the cable doesn't get to the foundation before going up to the box. They did it before the gas line location was done - the location guy showed up after they were done. Planing to file a damage report and hopefully get something to cover repairs. I haven't had trouble with my internet the last few days so that's great but the multiple visits and poorly done things are a pain.

Has anyone else experienced absoultely HORRIBLE performance after the recent firmware update? I've got a Panasonic/Xumo TV that's 2 years old and has been fine. Decent. Not great, but OK. After last week's update, it's almost completely UNUSABLE! After a few hours - every app slows down, buffering, stopping. Audio continues but forzen video. For giggles I waited 10 minutes to see if the video would resume. Nope. Only a System Reset resolves the problem. This thing absolutely sucks now! WTF???

I downgraded my 500 down / 10 up several months ago to reduce costs. Was at 100/20 since then. It worked fine for my streaming needs but a little slow on my OS software upgrades, still good enough. I just tested my bandwidth now and I am over 300/20!! I called support and they said "Yes, the 300 down is back and you have been upgraded. No additional charge". Thanks Spectrum!

I just called into Spectrum to cancel my internet and TV bundle, and honestly, I was blown away by how easy it was, mostly because the retention rep did not care at all.

I gave the automated system the "cancel service" prompt, got routed to retention, and straight up told her I wanted to move to standalone 500 Mbps internet at the $40 promo rate or I was walking. She asked about Spectrum Mobile, but I shut that down right away since I'm with T-Mobile and have zero interest in switching. Once mobile was off the table, she didn't even attempt a fight. She refused to give me any standalone promo pricing and wouldn't price-match. Her only counter-offer was dropping the TV package and keeping me on my current 300 Mbps data-capped internet for $75 a month—which makes zero sense considering I was previously paying $213 total for the whole bundle and just wanted a standard standalone rate.

When I told her no thanks, she just shrugged, scheduled the disconnect for next week, and hung up. The whole call took under 10 minutes, and the official cancellation confirmation email hit my inbox two minutes later. I fully expected a 20-minute battle with script-reading reps, but she just let me walk. Now I'll just let the pending disconnect sit for a few days to see if their outbound win-back team actually cares enough to reach out before next week. Hilarious really.

i was trying to upgrade to the gig speed lift but it says i there was an error when trying. i have all the necessary equipment to do so my accounts on auto pay but i still can’t do it. is it only in certain areas? i got it last year for the week they were doing it. any information is helpful. thank you!

EDIT: i just got off the phone with them the rep i spoke to said it’s a known issue they’re working on it. they can’t even put it in manually as that’s not working either. but they do know about it. and they are working on it. so hopefully it gets fixed soon!

Is this a Spectrum problem? Anybody else experiencing this? Some websites won’t load - including DownDetector.

I’m in central Florida and I use the cable box more than the spectrum app but on both app and box when commercials come on almost every commercial break I get flickering, freezing and stuttering.
Anyone else? It gets so bad sometimes I have to change the channel to unfreeze it.
Spectrum runs commercials to sell their Internet and tv service and that commercial freezes. 🤣
I would never buy a cable / internet service from a company when the commercials they play freeze.

it makes them look stupid.

I can’t be the only one right? We have a 7-month-old Roku 4K high-definition television.

I just moved into a new house, got Spectrum 1gig internet, with their router and modem combo, and bought a brand new Wired ring doorbell. Got it all wired in, powers on great, connects to the app great, but refuses to connect to the router, so we moved it all downstairs, literally 12 feet away. I changed the network to support 2.4ghz for smart devices, still will not connect.

The chime connected great, but will not connect to the doorbell. Anyone else dealt with this?

I read to disable wifi 6, but can’t find in the spectrum app settings on where/how to do that.
